Value For Money : Poor
I bought this card to plug in static and dynamic mics for recording acoustic instruments sound. Not use midi.
The card worked fine for 2 years and then dropped a track (big roar in the channel) I then phoned Music Comeback with whom I had bought the card, I was told that it was the fault of the model and the fault had bad capacitors invoice.
Then later cracking appeared and then disappeared after restart or stop map / disconnecting / reconnecting the USB cable.
Finally, the card gave up the ghost. It is no longer recognized by the computer. I went on Internet forums and it seems that it is a component on the USB connection that is causing the failure. This failure also seems to be fairly common on this model. So the card is irreparable for a reasonable sum.

UTILIZATION

Otherwise, the card itself is very good when it works! ! !
There is very little lag and a good bike, the eight tracks are working properly (Cubase SX)

GETTING STARTED

The facility is always a bit laborious with new equipment we do not know, but basically it ends quickly run the case by reading the manual!

OVERALL OPINION

Price / quality ratio low. Personally, do not redeem M-Audio.
I recommend buying this FastTrack Ultra8R
